Kaelynn Seraiah Morrow signs a 12-month contract to marry Drayke Veyron Obscura - the most feared mafia Don in Italy. In exchange: her brother lives. Rule 1: She doesn’t speak unless spoken to. Rule 6: She doesn’t refuse him. Rule 10: She never forgets who owns her.
But Drayke isn’t just a monster. He’s a man with scars, blood vows, and a dead mother’s revenge. He takes bullets for her. Locks her in to keep her safe. Whispers “you’re mine” like a prayer and a threat.
When fire burns his mansion, when his ex Isolde returns pregnant, when a 10-year-old girl drops from the vent claiming to be his daughter, Kaelynn learns the truth: the contract has an addendum. Clause 11. If she bears no heir, her body belongs to the demon inside the child.
Now Kaelynn must choose - run with freedom papers and blood money, or stay and become Queen to Drayke’s King. Blood vow. Bonded. Forever.
He died for her. She killed for him. And when he comes back from the grave, she kisses the monster and chooses him anyway. Till death. And after.
